Chapter 827 - 44: No Friendship Without Fighting

Chapter 827: Chapter 44: No Friendship Without Fighting

The martial arts arena was once again filled with shouts, from training to sparring, becoming progressively full, with direction. The chaos brought about by the fall of the previous Sect Master began to gradually stabilize with the arrival of Wang Zhigao.

"Fool, fool, don’t add force with your body, let Spiritual Ability drive it, drive it, where is your brain, drive~!" Wang Zhigao’s roar echoed, unable to tolerate stupidity, he had to scold, otherwise, he would be infuriated to death. This temper was something he could never change in his life.

After scolding, he would hit with a stick; if the brain didn’t work, then let the body remember it.

Aside from Fang Qingning, everyone had been hit. Being able to hold back from laying hands on Fang Qingning was the final respect for the identity of the Sect Master.

Three Pristine Sect.

Duan Zhengyang was kneeling, while Chu Zhan stood with his head lowered to one side. Jiang Jinyue had an iron-blue face, holding a copy of the Shen Zhou Daily. She almost spat out her breakfast when she saw the front-page headline early this morning.

The Shen Zhou Daily was also a recent product transmitted from Li Long, specially approved by the State Lord, managed by the City Lord, and supervised by the Golden Scale Guard. It reports interesting stories inside and outside Divine Land, meant for sect leaders and not open to the public.

Duan Zhengyang sneaking out again to Jiuxiao Building wasn’t too surprising. The kid was capable of it. After all, having a bit of temper and stubbornness isn’t a bad thing for a sect disciple, and should be punished, but how could he be so disgraceful?

Three Pristine Sect was humiliated by a Loose Cultivator, years of painstakingly accumulated sect reputation was ruined by this kid.

"Tell me, what happened." Jiang Qinyue’s eyes were knife-sharp, her beautiful face carrying a strong murderous air.

"Senior Sister, well, yesterday, it’s not entirely my fault, I felt wronged. Mid-way through the fight, Senior Brother came out to stop and told me to concede!" Duan Zhengyang was full of grievances, he hadn’t spoken to Chu Zhan all night. Now hearing that he had become a laughingstock, he couldn’t hold back anymore and directly pointed to Chu Zhan.

Jiang Jinyue’s gaze fell on Chu Zhan, "You speak."

Chu Zhan gave a wry smile, "Senior Sister, met a master, that guy was terrifying, opened with a triple attack, immediately broke through Vajra Institute’s Chan Yuba’s Protective Gang Qi. I couldn’t even see his technique clearly. Junior Brother was second to take the stage and used Shadow Clone, but that guy used Reversed Big Dipper Seven-Star Step to break Shadow Clone and simultaneously landed a triple strike on Junior Brother’s vital points. It was just that Junior Brother was too focused to notice. Opponent gave Three Pristine Sect a lot of face, so I stepped in to concede. Fighting further would still be a loss; he completely saw through Junior Brother."

"Reversed Big Dipper Seven-Star Step?" Jiang Jinyue frowned, "Are you sure?"

"Senior Sister, I’m sure, I saw it very clearly. This person, not sure where he came from, has some skills. The third opponent was Mist Concealment Sect’s Situ Buxiu. This guy’s quite renowned in Mist Concealment Sect, initially wanting to take advantage, but Mist Concealment Sect’s signature ability was of no use, got knocked out with one punch."

"Knocked out?" Jiang Jinyue asked curiously. Mist Concealment Sect is very difficult to deal with. When they don’t want to confront directly, they can really drag the time to look for opportunities.

"One punch broke the wind, quite domineering, this guy also became famous in one battle. A Loose Cultivator from outside is likely to have an extraordinary background, probably already being eyed by many sects."

In terms of competitiveness, Major Sects have the advantages of Major Sects, Small Sects have the advantages of Small Sects.

In Divine Land, when the Celestial Destiny Sect selects Celestial Destiny Sect disciples, the restrictions for becoming a candidate are minimal, but when officially chosen to receive the Celestial Destiny Sect identity, each sect can only have two people, which also makes some highly talented disciples choose other sects to increase their chances of obtaining the Celestial Destiny Sect identity. The stronger the sect, the greater the competition. Although the overall quality of Small Sects is somewhat worse, it greatly increases their chances of being selected into the Celestial Destiny Sect. Once they gain the identity of Celestial Destiny Sect, they can rid themselves of the sect’s definition and gain the maximum resources.

This selection method also balances the gap between sects, preventing Small Sects from being easily wiped out.

"Is he a Body Cultivator?"

"From what I can tell, yes, very formidable Body Cultivator, although he hasn’t shown Spirit Root," Chu Zhan said.

"The notion that Body Cultivators are weak is a misunderstanding, it’s just that their power comes slowly; when Body Cultivation reaches the end, it’s the most terrifying. Not having a Spirit Root is indeed a problem," Jiang Jinyue said.

Having a Spirit Root allows one to show superiority early in cultivation. As the power reaches the final stage, with the physical and spiritual power reaching the extreme, the superiority of the Spirit Root remains, and Body Cultivation also requires Spirit Root.

Of course, the difficulty of training a Body Cultivator is far greater than other Cultivators, mainly limited by resources, high investment, low return. Any sect has to weigh it carefully, and the resources to train a Body Cultivator could train several Sword Cultivators. Moreover, the chances of reaching the end are relatively low, without a Spirit Root, even more loss.

"Actually, not knowing each other without fighting, I feel this person is very insightful, having such a Loose Cultivator join our sect is not impossible, as for the Spirit Root, we can observe and see, I think there might be something fishy," Chu Zhan commented.

"If we have a chance, let’s pull him over," Jiang Jinyue said, "You handled it very well."

"At that time, I just thought since the other party gave us an out, we should take it, and look to regain our footing when we get back," Chu Zhan smiled wryly, he didn’t plan that far, "But thinking it over now, isn’t this an opportunity."

Immediately, Jiang Jinyue’s eyes sparkled. If they could add a strong combat power, it would also be beneficial for Three Pristine Sect.

"This guy fighting so actively in Jiuxiao Building is perhaps for resources or to attract the attention of Major Sects, after all, the life of a Loose Cultivator is hard and not long-lasting," Chu Zhan said.

During the waiting period, Chu Zhan had been observing that Loose Cultivator, mainly to see if there was any ambush from other sects targeting their Three Pristine Sect. There is a big competition this year, and all sects dealing some tricks between each other is also normal.

"I have another piece of information, Senior Sister, I feel his demeanor is heavily influenced by outsiders, could it be possible he’s just arrived in Divine Land?" Duan Zhengyang said, feeling that the Senior Sister’s mood was improving, providing some information might just exempt him from punishment.

"That explains it!" Chu Zhan slapped his thigh, "Someone like him couldn’t have been unknown before, no wonder I found him a bit strange, very unfamiliar with Jiuxiao Building, easy to check his background, just ask the Golden Scale Guard."

"Is he going again tonight?" Jiang Jinyue asked.

"Possible, even if not today, he should come again in the coming days," Chu Zhan said.

"Good, then let’s meet this Ren Yanli," Jiang Jinyue said, glancing at Duan Zhengyang, "You’re going to confinement, try sneaking out again, and I’ll break your legs!"

"Ahem, Senior Sister, can the punishment wait, Junior Brother is straightforward, I see Ren Yanli as decisive and ruthless, he didn’t spare two people who provoked him at Vajra Institute, yet he held back against Junior Brother, perhaps there’s some fate, let him tag along, it may help close the gap."

Jiang Jinyue thought about it and found it reasonable, glaring at Duan Zhengyang, "We’ll tally it up later."

"Senior Sister is wise and brilliant!" Duan Zhengyang showed a grateful expression, though inwardly dissatisfied, but a loss is a loss.

Suddenly Jiang Jinyue revealed a pleased expression, "Bao Yu’Er also lost face, being rejected twice consecutively in one night."
